Christian Ignorantics: "Spare the Raft, Spoil the Child..."

Recently, I posted something on my Facebook wall about threatening your child with a spanking. Several hours later, I received an inbox that stated "Girl, when I was young, our Momma used to whoop on us on a regular. I think ever child deserves discipline not abuse. The Bible says SPARE THE RAFT, SPOIL THE CHILD".

I hear ya Girl! And you need to get in that raft and go find Proverbs 13:24 where it says that "he that spareth his rod..." I don't know...perhaps, she was thinking about the "raft" of God. I try to find close phonetic correlation in every ignorantic story...it helps soothe the pain.

Toddler Ignorantics!

I Don't Have a Lullaby!

Here is a conversation that took place between a teacher and his student in class (He calls it his "Teacher Moment" of the Week):

Teacher: You have no excuse for not doing

your homework last night.

Student: Uh huh... Yes I did.

Teacher: What?

Student: I was doing something important.

Teacher: You don't even have an alibi.

Student: I thought that was a song you sing to babies.

Teacher: Class: YOU MEAN LULLABY!

The Message from this Dialogue According to the Teacher: Don't sing your kids alibis.

Ignorantic Prose...

This Business is Closed To Inquisitive Weather!

Are any of you as "curious" as I am about the location of this business? And furthermore if it's closed to inquisitive weather, may we "ask" when will the business be open again? I'd hate for the inclement weather to be a hindrance to the opening of this business. #SoManyQuestions

I Guess Ignorantics Aren't Afraid of GOD...

So, a few days ago, I received a text message that a friend of mine was in the ICU. The message was rather cryptic, and it was from an unknown number. So, I called the hospital and they confirmed that my friend is in ICU but they could not give me any details over the phone.

The next day, I went to the hospital to see my friend. When I got there, and before I got to her room, I was told that her sister sent a mass text from her phone (a new number) to everyone on her contacts list to come and see her in the ICU. I was also informed that she was brain dead. I prepared myself for the worse, put on the protective gear and mask, and then I entered her room. There were several people in her room. Most of the people were praying. None of her friends are willing to accept what doctors were saying was the inevitable. So, we joined hands and prayed. Her body began to twitch a little. We all started rejoicing! That was a sign! Joy filled the room, and then...ignorantics stepped in. At a time when ignorantics are not welcome; when folks are joyful yet sad, experience has taught me that is an open door for ignorantics...

So, one of her friends continues to pray and rub her leg. She states [and I quote] "_____, you got to slow down gurl. God is trying to send you a message. His ASS wants you to take your medicine and listen to your doctors". Instantly, a collective gasp could be heard in the room, and in the back of my mind I could hear the sound of screeching brakes. Suddenly, my friend's eyes opened WIDE as if to say, "Did this heffa just say 'his ass'?" "Aw, hayle NO!" Then, my friend closed her eyes. That is when the ignorantic fervent prayer began to get happy.  She exclaimed "She heard me! She heard me!" One of the ladies in the room mumbled under her breathe "Yeah, and GOD heard you too.." *eye roll*

Within minutes, folks immediately began filing out of the room in droves as if to say, "you ain't gonna have GOD mad at me 'cause you are ignorant!" Is it too much to ask that we not be profane in our prayers?

I'm Just Going to Call This Post "I Can't"

This is another Ignorantic sent in by a reader. I really don't know what to make of this. The author is obviously mad, but the mine field of Ignorantics in this paragraph is astounding. 

It's hard to believe that adults write like this. I believe that it is only the beginning of what is yet to come. It is clear that folks ignore the spell check and grammar tools, Google Search, and the dictionary. I am not perfect by any means (hence my disclaimer in this Blog), but I don't write like this.

I am also finding that posts like this are growing in popularity. People feel the need to "get with someone" or "tell someone off" but they are not doing so intelligently. Due diligence demands that you at least follow the spell check indicators. When the author of this post began typing, she should have seen several red "swiggly" lines that would indicate that there were spelling errors. However, she chose to ignore that and continue her tirade.

Now, I am not well versed on Biblical passages to challenge her on the references, but I can tell you that the spelling and grammatical errors were glaring. Add to that the fact that two people "LIKED" the comment.

I started writing this Blog in 2010, and in 2014, Ignorantics has grown expeditiously. I'm not proud of that, but it is a fact that I guess we will be talking, laughing, and discussing for decades to come.
